حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، قال حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ الأَسَدِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذُكِّرْتُ أَنَّ الرُّومَ وَفَارِسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ " . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَالْغِيلَةُ أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ . قَالَ عِيسَى بْنُ أَحْمَدَ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ .

‘Isa ibn Ahmad narrated to us; Ibn Wahb narrated to us; Malik narrated to me, from Abu al-Aswad Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Nawfal, from ‘Urwah, from ‘A’ishah, from Judamah bint Wahb al-Asadiyyah, who heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘I nearly forbade ghaylah until I was reminded that the Romans and Persians do that and it does not harm their children.’ Malik said: Ghaylah is when a man is intimate with his wife while she is nursing. ‘Isa ibn Ahmad said: Ishaq ibn ‘Isa narrated to us; Malik narrated to me, from Abu al-Aswad, with a similar report. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan gharib sahih hadith.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Ghaylah is explained in the source as intercourse with a wife during nursing. The translation retains the explanation attributed to Malik.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَالْغِيلَةُ أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ .
The source includes Malik’s definition, another chain, and Abu ‘Isa’s grading; the English witness omits these details.
Should these source details remain in the translation? They are included from the Arabic.
